Review: Poinsettia – Tiffany Reisz

Review: Poinsettia – Tiffany Reisz

Poinsettia is the perfect Christmas story! Because young Søren showing humility and grace is not something I expected at all, but Reisz graciously gave it to me anyway. My Poinsettia review: One Christmas Eve, long ago, in a brothel in Rome, Søren might have spent the most peaceful and moving Christmas ever – in the company of a sadist madam, who wanted to teach him to keep his masochists alive… And that was a very powerful, beautifully written tale shared for free with The Original Sinners fans. I’m not going to say much about this, the quotes (which could have been many more!) can speak for themselves. The prose is absolutely gorgeous, and seeing a vulnerable side of Søren was […]

Review: Laid Out – Sidney Halston

Review: Laid Out – Sidney Halston

Laid Out was hot, and it was filled with so much longing my heart almost burst with it! Apart from some typos that are probably fixed in the final version the story is well written with characters I enjoyed getting to know. My Laid Out review: Violet and Cain have known each other their whole lives, but apart from sharing a kiss, twelve years ago just before Cain and Jeremy deployed for the first time, they have been best friends. Laid Out is a friends-to-lovers romance, and it is gritty and filled with tension. And both Violet and Cain had their own demons to live with after Jeremy had died in combat, leaving Violet without her fiancé and Cain without […]

Review: Happily Ever After – J.A Huss

Review: Happily Ever After – J.A Huss

Fucking Huss! I cried so many happy tears during this novella! It was like coming home! Happily Ever After was like I had never left Rook & Ronin, Ford and Ashleigh, Spencer and Ronnie behind, reading other stories. And kids growing up too fast hit me in the chest – that is SO true. And I wish this novella was a boxed set of several full novels – I didn’t want to leave again. My Happily Ever After review: Re-visiting with the Rook and Ronin gang in Happily Ever After was like hanging out with really good friends I hadn’t had a chance to see for a while. And I loved how each of the couples shared some intimate Christmas […]

Review: Mine – Stacey Kennedy

Review: Mine – Stacey Kennedy

Mine is the seventh story in the Club Sin series, and this might be one of the reasons why I didn’t enjoy it all that much – not having read the other books in the series. However, I also found Presley to be very insecure and quite naïve, and Dmitri didn’t really seem all that dominant to me. My Mine review: I do kind of wish I had read the other Club Sin novels before I got to Mine, but at the same time, I really wanted to read this! A short, sexy romp was what I was looking for, and I didn’t really get that, though. There is a lot going on in Mine, and very little of it […]

Review: Base Instincts – Larissa Ione

Review: Base Instincts – Larissa Ione

In Base Instincts, love proved to be stronger than species, laws of nature, evil demons and soul-stealing scum! My Base Instincts review: It is always a treat to enter Ione’s Demonica world, and the fact that Base Instincts finally explored some of the different sexual preferences of the characters, even those male demons who actually need sex with a female in order to survive, made it even better! When a story manages to have the characters push the boundaries of the universe in which they evolve, that story has the ability to also help readers think about things in a different way in my opinion. Getting to know Slake and Raze and see what Fayle meant to their possible relationship […]

Review: Friction – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Friction – Sawyer Bennett

Who knew legal-talk could be so hot? Friction has a lot of depth, characters I really enjoyed, and a case that made my heart lurch for the plaintiff. My Friction review: I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked up Friction, apart from the fact that I usually love Ms. Bennett’s writing, and thought I’d enjoy this story of hers as well. And I sure did enjoy it! It’s a fast-paced story, with a female lead who knows what she wants, and who is definitely willing to do what it takes to get that. Leary was both very smart and in touch with her feminine side. Using her sex appeal to further her clients’ agenda did not bother […]

Review: Wrong – Jana Aston

Review: Wrong – Jana Aston

Wrong is filled with a lot of humor, a dash of romance, and lot and lots of hot kinkiness. I love Sophie and Luke – even if their relationship was definitely wrong 😉 I didn’t know what to think of Wrong when I read the summary, I already knew Ms. Aston had a great sense of humor and a dirty mind, though, so I was pretty sure I would get some good laughs. And that, I did! I laughed out loud in several instances, and my 13-year-old son asked me why – and I just couldn’t answer. Some things are definitely not for young ears. Sophie was a very quirky heroine, but one I really enjoyed, and that’s really saying […]

Review: The Queen – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Queen – Tiffany Reisz

The Queen definitely does tie up loose ends, and it also shows the spectacular talent Ms. Reisz has with words… Everything Kingsley, Nora and Søren went through was worth it – because through all the heartache and pain, the found themselves, and each other, again. My The Queen review: While I am very sorry the Original Sinners series is over now, what a way to go! The Queen continues just after the end of The Virgin, however, most of the story folds out as a story Nora tells Søren, with only glimpses to the present. As always, Ms. Reisz’s storytelling is far above par, it’s always amazing to me how involved I have become in these characters, and how connected […]

Review: Sexy – J. A. Huss

Review: Sexy – J. A. Huss

Sexy is definitely a hot read, with characters who aren’t at all what they seem, and who are doing what they can to keep their secrets just that. My Sexy review: It’s not exactly a surprise for those of you who visit my blog regularly that I’m a huge Huss fan, every time she releases a new book, I’m waiting, impatient, hopping with excitement for what twists and turns she has prepared for her readers next. While Sexy has a very hot and pretty alpha-male main character in Fletcher, he is nothing like the other characters she’s written before. There is no feel of imminent danger surrounding him, rather he seems to have a lot of secrets, and to be […]

Review: Wicked Fall – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Wicked Fall – Sawyer Bennett

Hot! Also darker and naughtier than Bennett’s usual stories, Wicked Fall was enticing and intriguing as hell! My Wicked Fall review: Wicked Fall is a naughty, hot and still quite romantic tale! Bennett managed to have me intrigued and very interested in both Woolf and Callie, and while I don’t see myself ever visiting any kind of sex club, I was quite pleased to be a secondary voyeur at The Wicked Horse! At first, Woolf definitely intimidated me, but he also really intrigued me, as he was both a very savvy business man and cowboy, and at the same time trying to build a kinky empire for those with the same wants and needs as himself and Bridger. I have […]
